Also, I can't see any way this isn't Semien coming up. What will be interesting to see is how the minors shake out. There's only a couple weeks left in the season, do we possibly see Rondon moved up to Charlotte for a 2-3 week spell to continue getting him consistent playing time?

This DOES explain why he wasn't in the lineup last night against a lefty. In any other circumstance, he'd be there, but this trade (or another one) had to be close. The Sox could have been waiting on a team to guarantee them the option of PTBNL or cash or maybe they get a choice or who knows really.

Kind of an odd move for the Angels. I thought a team looking to platoon him would try and snag him. Kendrick and Freese are both much better against LHP. Aybar hits just .226 against LHP so I wonder if they try him at SS.

 

He's certainly an upgrade over John McDonald who is their current utility man.

Why can't Rondon play in Birmingham or the AFL?

 

You really want to jump him 3 levels in one season when he's just beginning to prove he won't have the bat blown out of his hand by a dominant pitcher?

 

I don't even think it's three weeks left, more like 2 unless your team's in the playoffs/post-season.

I am very happy. Too bad it wasn't a month ago.
